East Elementary

Principal

My name is Dr. Ryan Day. I am very excited to be the new principal for East School. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first semester. It has been wonderful getting to know all the outstanding faculty, staff, students, parents, and community members that make up the East Family. Thank you to everyone to has stopped by to say hello.

I have been in education for 16 years and have been a principal for 10. I moved to Jefferson City from the St. Louis area where I served as a school principal and assistant principal. I have worked in almost every possible elementary school setting including rural, urban, and suburban schools serving very diverse student populations.

East is absolutely wonderful. We have so many hard-working students doing their best each day. Our outstanding teachers go above and beyond each day for their students. Of course, none of it would be possible without the incredible support we receive from our families and caregivers. We all must work together to give each child the best educational experience possible. Please feel free to stop by East to say hello or call me any time with questions or concerns. I believe open communication is critical for any successful school.
